The victim went to the UW Medical Center emergency room about midnight after someone flagged down a pickup truck and the victim was loaded in the back. Police initially called his friend’s phone several times, but the calls weren’t answered, according to the report.

The victim did not get a description other than that the person who beat him was a white man with brown hair. Police could also see swelling around his left eye. Two sergeants screened the incident, including one from the homicide unit.

Anyone with information regarding the assault is asked to contact detectives at (206) 684-5550.
